When he heard Mu Rong say that the person who fell off the cliff was caught by a branch and might still be alive, the abbot breathed a long sigh of relief, recited a Buddhist chant, and then ordered the nun beside him: "Quick, quick, quick! Go and call someone." Come here, rescue this person!"

After all, the Marquis is a man, and physical contact is inevitable when rescuing people, so the abbot did not dare to ask for more.

"Yes." After receiving the order, the nun who followed her was busy looking for ropes and calling people.

The surrounding pilgrims also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

If someone dies unexpectedly in the land of Buddhism, it will be very unlucky!

They all came here to pray for blessings, and no one wanted to get involved in anything bad.

The abbot looked around and said with a cold face: "Who is serving the eldest lady of the Cheng family? Why don't you come over?"

Not long after, a little nun in thin clothes hurried over.

The abbot scolded: "Is this how you take care of the eldest lady of the Cheng family? You actually put your distinguished guests in danger and ignore her?"

"Yes... the eldest lady forbids the nun to follow. If the nun tries to stop her, she will report it to the abbot and accuse the nun of being careless..." The little nun buried her head in her chest, "The nun has already persuaded the eldest nun not to do it. Come here..."

The abbot glanced at Cheng Jintong and saw the embarrassed expression on the girl's face. He knew that what the little nun said was true, so he cleared his throat: "That's enough! Why don't you step aside quickly!"

Soon, the rope was brought over, and half of the nuns in the nunnery also arrived.

However, looking at the high cliffs, even if they are protected by fences, is enough to frighten people. What's more... the nuns in the nunnery are mostly supported by pilgrims. On weekdays, they hardly have to do any work except sweeping. All of them have no hands tied. With the power of a chicken, there is no need to rescue people halfway up the mountain.

So everyone looked at each other with timid expressions on their faces, but no one dared to go down to save the person.

The wind was strong on the mountain, and a gust of wind blew by, making the branches and leaves rustle, making it even more terrifying.

"What are you still doing? Go and save people!" A pilgrim was anxious.

When the abbot saw this, he had no choice but to point his finger: "Get down! Tie a rope around your waist and everything will be fine!"

The nun she spotted turned pale and her legs were like chaff: "Poor...poor nuns are afraid of heights..."

The abbot frowned and wanted to change someone, but before she could speak again, everyone else took a step back with tacit understanding.

The abbot looked embarrassed when he saw this.

As a last resort, she had no choice but to look at Mu Rong with some embarrassment: "Master Marquis, look..."

Mu Rong didn't wait for her to finish, and threw the rope onto the thick tree trunk. Then, holding one end of the rope with one hand, he jumped down amidst everyone's exclaims...

……

In just a moment, Mu Rong returned to everyone's sight.

There was an unconscious woman in pink hanging on her arm.

Cheng Jintong turned her back and didn't dare to look. Her girl whispered: "It's this girl."

Everyone's eyes fell on the handkerchief in the hand of the pink-clothed woman... This must be the handkerchief she risked to pick up for the eldest lady of the Cheng family, right?

He almost lost his life for others, which made all the pilgrims sigh.

"Hurry and help her into the house." Someone shouted, which instantly brought everyone back to their senses.

As a result, the servants brought by the pilgrim's female family members hurried forward and carried the woman in pink into the nearest wing.

Due to falling from the mountain, her bun had long been scattered. After lying on the bed and brushing away her messy hair, her face was revealed to everyone.

This is a beautiful and refined cheek, but the eye sockets are slightly deeper than ordinary people, and the brow bone is raised...

"A foreigner?" someone whispered.

"She is from Northern Xinjiang." Cheng Jintong's girl said, "She is a Northern Xinjiang woman who came to Beijing with Princess Lingxi."

Mu Rong, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard this and followed him into the side room.

After seeing the woman's face clearly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: This woman is the personal maid beside Princess Lingxi.

It was Herme who was sent to the East Palace to confuse the prince, and then returned to Princess Lingxi after the prince was deposed.

Is it... such a coincidence?

Mu Rong stood by the door, watching the onlookers inside who couldn't help but be busy.

One of the pilgrims said: "Check to see if she is hurt."

The abbot said warmly: "I've already gone to invite you."

There is a female nun in Shaohua nunnery who was a medical girl. Besides chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, she will also treat the nuns in the nunnery. Occasionally, if a pilgrim becomes unwell in the nunnery, the abbot will send her to take care of her.

Now that the abbot summoned her, she hurried over and knelt half-kneeling beside the bed to diagnose Herme's pulse. After a while, she stood up and reported back: "Judging from the pulse, this girl should have suffered internal injuries after falling from a high place and colliding... As for the rest, we have no way of knowing that the poor nun’s medical skills are shallow, so we need to return to Beijing as soon as possible to ask a doctor for diagnosis.”

"You actually suffered internal injuries?" The abbot frowned.

Since this person is the maid of Princess Lingxi, she must have come to Shaohua nunnery to do business for the princess, but now she is injured... How can this be a good thing!

After walking around the room twice, she walked up to Mu Rong and said, "I heard that the Marquis' internal power is unmatched by anyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I wonder if I can ask the Marquis to use his internal power to heal her so that she can go to the capital. ?”

Mu Rong did not answer, but looked at the nun who was diagnosing Herme's pulse: "Will her internal injuries be life-threatening?"

"For the time being... no." The nun answered truthfully.

After receiving the reply, Mu Rong glanced at the abbot: "Since it is not harmful to my life, I will not use my internal energy. After all... my internal energy is also extremely precious."

Abbot: "..."

Surrounding audience: "..."

The abbot did not expect that the Marquis would refuse in public, so his cheeks turned slightly red.

Mu Rong didn't look at her anymore, and turned to Cheng Jintong, who was standing by the bed with a troubled expression on his face, and asked: "This must not be the first time for Miss Cheng to come to Shaohua Nunnery. Is it dangerous on both sides and can't you move around at will?"

Cheng Jintong blushed when she was asked about it out of the blue. She had caused a lot of trouble in Shaohua Nunnery today, and she was afraid that she would be grounded by her grandfather when she returned. She still had the same sharp teeth as when she was fighting with Lin Jiaoyue.

She lowered her head like a quail: "I...I know it, but I heard someone last night saying that the mountain flowers here are extremely beautiful. These days are the time to enjoy flowers. If the weather gets warmer, Then Xieluo disappeared. I...I was also curious for a moment and wanted to come over and have a look. Who would have thought that the mountain flowers here are so beautiful, but the wind is so strong that it almost caused a disaster."

Mu Rong frowned when he heard this: "So, Miss Cheng only went to the cliff after hearing someone talk about it?"

"Exactly."

"Then do you know who the person who spoke last night was?" Mu Rong asked again.

"No... I don't know. It was already dark at that time, and there was a wall across the way, so I... I didn't pay attention... I guess it must have been other pilgrims staying in Shaohua Nunnery."

Mu Rong sneered in his heart and stopped asking.
